ALlSOS, cosisting of fiat, rolling and mesa
lands. The soil is of an even, rich sandy
loan, free from alkali and sand and suitable
alike for the culture of fruit, vines and all
cereals. 1t is watered by numerous springs
and streams, which, like all California wat
ers come to the surface in different portions
of the ranch, and which offer splendid Oppor-
tunities for the storage of winter water at
slight expense.
10 section in Southern California offers a
chance for town site equal to this. 1t has
two guaranteed stations upon the line of the
A. T. Il S. F. r. X. to San bieo, which is al
ready graded through the ranch at the center
of the town site. The Southern Pacific has
also laid out their line to San Diego along the
lower end, on the old San Diego road. The
town site is elevated above the surrounding
valley some 800 feet, and presents magnifi-
cent panorama of the Santa Ana and San
Juan valleys, the. ocean and the beautiful
Santiago mountains, rising but a few miles
away along the northern boundary. 1t is a
spot most fitting for colony, lying just ten
miles from Santa Ana, fifteen miles from
San Juan-by-the-Sea, eight miles from the
Laguna and Arch-beach, and the same dis
tance from Newport and ocean transporta-
ton. The mountain ranges in the rear shut
off the hot desert winds coming down the
Santa Ana canon, and defects them towards
the north and west The elevation secures
immunity from the fogs and frosts of the
lower lying and adjacent valleys 1t Is well
timbered with oak, sycamore, cottonwood,
willow and elder trees. Water from wells
can be obtained anywhere on the ranch at
| depths of from to 40 feet. At the old adobe
ranch house is vineyard over 80 years old,
still bearing, and an orchard of fruit and
olive trees, some of them two feet in dame
ter, grown and still in bearing without irri-
CATION. Some distance from the ranch house
lies the famous Sancal Grove and picnic
grounds, which, with its magnificent trees,
Is the finest in Southern California. At one
or two places on the ranch are indications of
coal oil and lime. The celebrated actress,

How TO Drink Wine,

Mr.. Matthew Arnold never made a

Swine used in moderation adds to the

and powers. That is the philosophy of
epicurism in a nutshell. Wine, how

prevent the brain from morbidiy brood

nutritive nerves with extra power.
But the most important thing TO re.

that its essence, its soul, lies in the per-

values of wines depend almost en-.

the best, because age mellows their tart

Unlike beer, it should always be sipped;
and the smaller the quantity 1t a / me

MARYsvILLE, May 30.-On Saturday
night the fields at the Kentucky ranch,
fifteen miles distant, caught fire and de.
stroyed several hundred acres of hay,
some standing grain barns and much of
the fencing. The loss will reach several
thousand dollars. On Sunday afternoon
fire was discovered on The grazing
fields at Traynor's sheep ranch, nine
miles north of this city. Before it could
be stopped, the grain field. embracing
fifteen acres was destroyed. The com.
bined efforts of several large crews Of
working farm hands from the different
ranches saved many thousand acres of
growing grain. Several of the men we're
suffoc ated and the attendance of ply.
sician was necessary.
